Hello everyone. I had a question about smoke on start up of my 1995 355. When i start the car and leave it on idle white smoke comes out for 3 minutes or so until the car is warmed up and then goes away and that happens every time. Is that normal.

Thanks in advance

It's probably steam. Not to worry.

re: Some on start up

thats what i thought. When i touch the exhaust it does feels like moist but not oil or any thing like that. Ahh i was getting worried about getting a valve guide issue.

Most Ferrari have this even when new. So not to worry.

I have this happen on my 1995 F355 GTS all the time. Nothing to worry about. When I first got the car, I asked my Ferrari dealer about it and he stated that it was perfectly normal.

:lol:
only with a Ferrari people take this
ANY other brand that would have smoke coming out of the car and the dealer said: ooh perfectly normal, we would strangle the sales guy and drive the car thru the showroom window.
but with a Ferrari it's considered normal and we all find it normal aswell
appreciate the irony in it :green:

Ask the factory's service manager and the answer would be normale.. :lol:

maybe this is caused because of the outcome of the leakdown test you posted in the other topic

It happens on most cars with a more free flowing exhaust. Water in the pipes heats up into steam and is blow out in the first few minutes. Really nothing to worry about.
